Sporting’s captain highlights the low intensity of the match, which ended in a goalless draw.

Morten Hjulmand believes that the second leg match between Arsenal and Sporting was boring for the fans.

In statements to CBS Sports , the Lions’ captain lamented the lack of intensity during the 90 minutes and assured that this is not the way Sporting likes to present itself on the field. It should be noted that the aggregate score over the two legs was 1-0.

It was a balanced game, the impact of the first game made the task more difficult away from home, especially when we don’t lose very often at home. A game with little intensity, no rhythm, no goals and boring, he begins by saying.

There were many stoppages during the game, and if I were a fan, I would have found the game boring. A goalless draw in the second leg, a 1-0 victory in the first, that’s not how Sporting wants to play. We want to score goals, create opportunities, and we didn’t do that, he adds.
